http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/09/27/roach.robot/index.html Lowly roach inspires high-tech robotics Innovative maneuvering based on buggy behavior >From James Hattori (CNN) Friday, September 27, 2002 Posted: 1:46 PM EDT (1746 GMT) (CNN) -- Most people think of cockroaches as household pests. But for a group of American scientists, roaches are a source of robotic inspiration. University of California-Berkeley biologist Bob Full is fascinated by the way cockroaches move.
